40% weightage of 12th Board marks in Engineering Entrance Exams

Today I read in "The Indian Express" newspaper regarding 40% weightage of 12th board exams in the forthcoming Engineering entrance tests from 2013 onwards.

This is truly a great effort from MHRD to make school education equally important.

But i think in order to ease the students from the entrance exam pressure, it may backfire as now they have to show their best performances in both board as well as competition exams in order to get admission in prestigious institutions country wide.
